As an update, some Of my mom’s molecular testing came back and was 40% positive for PDL1 which the pulmonologist stated was very good. We haven’t seen the oncologist yet because she doesn’t want to start her on any treatment until the results of the Egfr are back which we are still waiting on. Is 40% PDL1 good in regards to treatment options?
her primary tumor is an adenocarcinoma located in the lower left Lobe of the left lung.
I know this is a loaded question, but what is the general outlook for these days in the year 2022 when conventional chemo and radiation are the first line of therapy (assuming we can’t pursue immunotherapy and targeted therapy). The statics online are very discouraging and morbid to say the least outside of areas that involve targeted therapy and immune therapy. Has anything changed in respect to conventional chemo and radiation for a stage 4 diagnosis?
